Did I do anything wrong?

Hi all, first post on here and a poker newbie so any help would be much appreciated. 

I entered the £3,000 Bounty Hunter tournament this evening (2,000 chips starting stack, blinds 10/20, 6 seater table), first hand was dealt AdKh, I was in early position so raised to 120 and got 2 callers, one in the cut-off and the small blind.  Just figured out how to post the hand so will do below, but wondered if anyone didnt like my play shoving all in when re-raised on the flop- I realise AK is just A high, but with 9 outs to the nut flush and 5 to a pair which I thought were all good as the villain did not re-raise pre-flop (so I didn't put him on AA, KK or QQ), i figured I was at worst racing a lower pair, or dominating AQ or AJ and given it was a bounty hunter thought aggression was the best policy

Any views, thanks in advance:

    Thanks guys - what a fast response!

    I figured I'd put him to the test so could have won if he'd folded, i wasn't sure if he had a pair but thought any pair was JJ and below so was flipping at worst.  Anything else he had I was ahead of (except 2 diamonds of course), but I would still have had the re-draw in that event.

    I can't even see that my bet sizing was wrong so guess I was unlucky and that's just poker, oh well, when does  the next tournament start...

    I like the big raise pre flop....needed when the blinds are so small.
    On the flop like already said if your happy to flip then great move. Better than being the caller here.
    I am passive at the start of a MTT if I don't hit. I would be thinking if I fold here I still have 80 big blinds
